@hampshireshistory: This remarkable Saxon church is at the bottom of Portsdown Hill isolated in the fields. It was once part of a scattered settlement and mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086. There is a beautiful ancient Yew tree behind it with a circumference of 8.5 metres and dating over 1000 years old. The site it believed to predate the church itself and may have been used for worship before Christianity. This post is to help share and preserve the history of our church and tree. Please respect and help continue to look after this ancient site. #village #church #History #Hampshire #yew
That’s interesting and great that you appreciate the local villages. We are lucky to have some of them so preserved, especially the ones mentioned in the Domesday Book. 🥰

the Yew is the clue. This was a Pagan Druidic site of worship. successive 'new' beliefs have built their temple here, to cleanse and take over. It remains however,a Pagan,Druidic site of worship.
